President Donald Trump announced during a press conference at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States will take over the Gaza Strip. He stated that the U.S. will "own it" and be responsible for dismantling dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons, leveling the site, and redeveloping it. Describing Gaza as a "demolition site," Trump suggested relocating Palestinians to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan. He emphasized creating economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing, aiming for a long-term ownership position to bring stability to the Middle East.
